for insulation
Drywall itself is not a good insulator, as it does not have a high R-value (the measure of insulation effectiveness). However, when combined with insulation materials like fiberglass or foam, drywall can contribute to a home's overall insulation.
Between the sheets of drywall can be insulation or just hollow.
Foam drywall insulation offers benefits such as improved energy efficiency, soundproofing, and moisture resistance in home construction projects.

Vapour barrier is directly onto studs.
While drywall, or gypsum board, does give insulation value it is not a high amount, a 1/2" piece of drywall will only raise the r-value by .45, if you are looking to improve the insulation of a wall you are much better off using rigid foam insulation. An extruded polystyrene board, that's Styrofoam, of 1" thickness gives you an R-value of 5.00, which is over 5 times greater per inch than that of drywall. You can further improve the insulation value of a wall by add some kind of batt insulation in-between the studs.
The best practices for installing insulation behind drywall include ensuring proper fit and coverage, using the right type of insulation for the space, sealing any gaps or openings, and following manufacturer guidelines for installation. It is important to maintain a consistent thickness and avoid compressing the insulation to maximize its effectiveness in reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency.

how much will it cost to rip out 1300 sq ft of drywall and insulation and replace said
To effectively address water damage during drywall repair, first identify and fix the source of the water leak. Remove any wet or damaged drywall, insulation, and other materials. Allow the area to dry completely before replacing with new drywall and insulation. Use mold-resistant materials and consider waterproofing solutions to prevent future damage.
To install foam insulation effectively and efficiently, start by preparing the area by cleaning and removing any debris. Measure and cut the foam insulation to fit the space accurately. Apply adhesive to the back of the foam insulation and press it firmly against the surface. Seal any gaps or seams with caulk to prevent air leakage. Finally, cover the insulation with a protective barrier, such as drywall or paneling, to complete the installation.
